1. Crispy Breaded Calamari
Golden calamari rings served with a fresh dip are a classic holiday starter and a must-have for any sharing platter. They are simple to prepare, easy to share, and always a crowd-pleaser at parties.
Let’s make this easier with our pre-fried, quick-frozen squid rings. Sourced responsibly from an Indian Fishery Improvement Project (FIP), they feature a perfect balance of tender squid and crispy coating. You can even choose fun flavor twists like sweet chili, garlic and herb, or black pepper.
A lightly dusted seafood mix brings wonderful variety to the table without feeling too heavy. Paired with lemon wedges and savory dipping sauces, it is a fun and elegant appetizer for family gatherings.
Our seafood mix product combines squid rings, shrimp, and octopus, all gently coated in seasoned flour. To suit your business needs, it is available in handy 300g bags/trays for retail or 10kg bulk packs for busy kitchens.

3. Classic Clam Linguine
Clam linguine is a timeless favorite for special occasions. Whether tossed in garlic, olive oil, and white wine, or served in a rich tomato sauce, the sweet, fresh flavor of the clam meat truly shines.
We supply fully cooked white clams and Paphia clams that are perfect for quick pasta prep. Available in various sizes or conveniently packed in brine, you can easily mix them with whole-shell clams for a beautiful, restaurant-quality presentation.
4. Seafood Marinara & Cioppino Stew
A warm, tomato-based seafood stew is a wonderful centerpiece for holiday dinners. You can serve it over noodles for a classic marinara, or with crusty bread as a comforting Cioppino-style broth.
To save prep time, try our premium blend of mussel meat, king prawns, and squid rings. Available raw or pre-cooked, you can pair this mix with ready-made red or white marinara sauces to quickly create a rich and festive main course.
Grilled shrimp skewers served with lime and roasted vegetables add a bright, bold flavor to any holiday spread. They are highly versatile, working beautifully as an appetizer, a main dish, or part of a grand buffet.
We use high-quality, peeled, and deveined Vannamei shrimp for our skewers. You can choose from tasty marinades like cajun, garlic and parsley, or sweet chili. If you want to create your own signature flavor, we also offer custom recipes and private-label options.
